What’s your Myer-Briggs personality type?

Post Reply New Topic

INTJ, with 100% I and 100% J.

Haven’t seen any ISFJs here yet so you are the first.

Prediction:
I don’t expect to see many ENs or ESs here.

"I" for sure, and about 50-50 for the other 3. Actually the Big Five has more scientific support than Myer-Briggs. Why not ask for that?

I just took the test, I'm type 6 with a wing 5. I think they both describe me tbh.

Interestingly, I'm also on a non-ASD forum, and most people there are also introverts. I'm not quite sure why that is. Maybe it's because introverts tend to use online forums more. Or maybe it's because asexuals (which is who the forum is for) are more likely to be introverts.

INTJ's are supposed to be 2% of the population, yet there is a way higher percentage of INTJ's in this thread. I wonder how much of that 2% is Asperger's.

INFP, but I prefer the cognitive functions.

Fi
Ne
Si
Te

That's my main lineup. However, if I were to use all eight, I'd put it like:
Fi
Ne
Ti
Si
Te
Ni
Se
Fe

There is more depth in it. I call it MBTI math, because it has rules like math.

Every letter has 2 sides. Extroverted and introverted. Those are called functions. Everyone has a preference for 4 functions, in that order: IEIE for introverts and EIEI for extraverts, with the first function being dominant, that comes naturally and the last being the weakest, needing assistance but still valued (something that causes a lot o trouble during childhood and is improving during the whole lifetime, slowly starting to get useful in late 20s/early 30s).

Everyone has a preffered function from all 4 types: Sensing, Intuition, Thinking and Feeling. They come in pairs. If Sensing is first, Intuition will be last. If Thinking is first, Feeling will be last. If Intuition is 2nd Sensing will be 3rd. If Feeling is 2nd Thinking will be 3rd. If Thinking is introverted, Feeling will be extroverted. If Sensing is introverted, Intuition will be extroverted. And the other way around.

The type shortcut is related to first 2 preferences and their intro/extroversion. For example INTP(me) is Ti Ne Si Fe. I because first function is introverted. N because second function is Intuition, T because first function is Thinking, P because first extroverted(=having direct contact with the world) function is a perceiving function (Perceiving=Sensing, Intuition, Judging=Thinking, Feeling)

The functions are:

Ti, Introverted Thinking = your own logic.
Te, Extroverted Thinking = common logic.
Fi, Introverted Feeling = your own values.
Fe, Extroverted Felling = group values.
Ni, Introverted Intuition = sense of future.
Ne, Extroverted intuition = sense of possibilities.
Si, Introverted Sensing = stored memories.
Se, Extroverted Sensing = 5 body senses.

Everyone is able to make use of all 8 functions. But only 4 of them are preferred(=automatic). As an INTP I can freely use Te logic(it's a tool, similar to my Si) but it gets filtered by my Ti or Ne. I can't help it. And as for Se (everyone is supposed to use the 5 senses, right?) it actually gets badly messed up by Ne(accompanied by Si) and needs to be fixed by Ti more often than not. I don't just see stuff. I see stuff and instantly imagine what they might be and the conclusion is what comes to my mind. If what I imagined fits the reality I don't even realize anything is wrong. But when it doesn't?

Ne:"I spot an alligator."
Si: shows image of an aligator.
Ti: "Where are you seeing an aligator now?"
Ne: "It was crossing the street."
Ti: "OK...? How did it look like, exactly?"
Si: shows an image of an aligator on the street in the middle of the crowded Polish city I am in, a photography of what Ne made it store.
Ti: "Wait. WHAT? Impossible... NE!"
Ne: "Ok. Perhaps it was just some green bag."
Si: shows a new image, taken by Se that got intentionally prompted to take a photo of the street. It's a green piece of trash.
Ti: "Are you an idiot?"
Fe:
Ti+Ne: "If anybody knew what we just imagined they would think we are mentally ill, or childish..."
Fe:
Ti+Ne: "... or maybe creative, imaginative?"
Fe:

Of course it isn't an actual dialogue and it is over too fast to actually observe most of the time but it's the process that happens every single time I see anything. Usually it just ends with Ti's: "Makes sense" as soon as Ne "spots" something though because usually Ne isn't that far from reality.

There was data, so I charted it. It's what I do.
